'Not Funny' Griffin Gets Trumped (And It Is Spectacular!)

It wasn’t always bad for her. She
was a D-list self-parody. Sorry if I repeated myself. Liberals in general have
become laughingstocks wherever they protest. La Raza Nativists who denounce me
because I’m white then tell me “There’s no such thing as reverse racism.” The
climate alarmists have gone into orbit over Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris
Climate Agreement. Really? Yes, they think the world is going to end, when in
reality this pull-out is good news for America and for the world. If the
Australian government could call out climate alarmism for what it is—horse
hockey—so can we.

But back to Kathy Griffin. Decades
ago, Griffin actually was funny. When she spent more time mocking herself and
her small-time status, she was actually pretty amusing.

Cue Seinfeld. Ding Diggie Doom Doo!
“Jerry! Jerry!”

In one episode, “The Doll”,
Griffin—playing Sally Weaver, a friend of George’s long-time girlfriend who
dies from licking envelopes--throws off Jerry’s comedy routine. The comedian
wanted to do a bit on this creepy doll that looks just like George Costanza’s
wizened, nagging mother. Of course, Griffin brings him an Italian chef doll
instead. About the other doll, Weaver says “Not funny!” In another episode,
Griffin brings other dolls to her own comedy routine, complete with irate
messages left by Jerry Seinfeld. She plays to packed houses, while Jerry gets
routinely mocked just for sitting in the audience.

A small-time character actress
playing quirky bit parts, Griffin found her niche. She should have stuck with
that shtick. After all, when Saturday night comedy shows make fun of you for
being famous—because you’re not famous—you know you have your low. In 2007, Ms.
D-List actually won an award: the D-List of awards, the Daytime Emmy. She won
something by making fun of herself. But she went full self-righteous narcissist.“Jesus
had nothing to do with this! Suck it Jesus, this award is my God now!” That
wasn’t funny. She lost her “persona” right there. Not only that, but what she
took pride in, did not merit such haughty self-promotion.

At that point, Griffin wasn’t funny
anymore. She sounded tired and bitter. Perhaps she should have done stand-up
focusing on why they don’t call Ovaltine “Round-tine”. After all, the cup's
round, the container is round …(hat
tip once again, Jerry!) Her bitterness overtook her humor
within a few short years. To get back into the limelight, riding the Coastal
liberal hatred of Donald Trump, Griffin posted a photo shoot with a severed
head of Trump, as she stood with a blank look on her face in a plain blue
dress.

The outrage was palpable. In fact,
such a gruesome scene should make no one laugh.

Sorry, Kathy: Not funny!

Putting aside the moral opprobrium,
why was this shocking photo shoot a dud?

1. The whole scene is based on the
totalitarian Islamic regime’s methods for the execution of Christians, Yazidis,
and Muslims. Such subject matter is not funny—unless a comedian is mocking the
Satanic malefactors. I don’t recall comedians making jokes about Nazis killing
innocent Americans during World War II.

Jerry Lewis did produce a film “The
Day the Clown Cried.” The main character humors kids to enter the gas chambers.
Not funny, in bad taste. To his credit, Lewis insisted that the film not be
released in his lifetime. Good comedians (not Griffin)(know when) they’ve
crossed the line. when they fail, they admit overstepping the lines of decency
and make amends as best as they can.

2. By releasing the picture of a
bloody head representing the President, Griffin skirted, if not crossed, the
fine line of the First Amendment. Did she want to incite violence? Does she
want people to kill the President? The fact that ethical questions come into
play sucks away all the humor.

3. The American people like Trump.
Comedians depends on them for laughs. Attacking their values will not win you
laughs or followers. Wanda Sykes learned that lesson the hard
way in Boston: don’t blast President Trump with unjustified hate—or with tired
unfunny tirades. “Slaughtering” the president in such hideous fashion is a
direct affront to the millions of voters who wanted him to clean up Obama’s
mess.

4. Her wicked picture gave First Son
Barron Trump nightmares. Torturing kids is not funny. Period.

Now the good news: the consequences
for Griffin’s unfunny faux pas were immediate. CNN fired her from the upcoming
New YEar's Eve special with Anderson Cooper. CNN got it half-right. They should
have fired Cooper, too, since he peddles fake news with his own sick veneer of
vulgar humor. Griffin’s crappy photo-shoot flushed her deal with Squatty Potty,
too. Who would have thought this D-List comedian would lose the potty contracts
for something else besides her potty mouth.

Griffin was overwhelmed by all this
bad press. Friday morning, Griffin hosted a press conference and admitted that
she was wrong. “I went too far. I’m so sorry.” And the Oscar goes to … not her.

Another shoddy performance, as she turned around and blamed Trump and his
family for costing her contacts and her career.

Not funny, Kathy, and not true
either.

She knew what she was doing from set
up to photo shoot to distribution. She wants the President dead. Her lack of
talent and common decency is costing her, as it should. The Hollywood,
Crony-Washington Left cannot believe this is real: there are consequences for
hateful, abusive actions.

God bless President Trump for having
the courage to call out Griffin’s tasteless attack. His very presence in the
White House has triggered these hateful leftists so badly, that now they are
killing themselves off. Our President: he never stops fighting for us.

“He broke me!” she whines. Now that
is funny! It’s gold, Griffin, solid gold! I’m so glad that these hateful,
unfunny comics are getting theirs. Kathy, your downfall is real, and
it is spectacular!
